2010 GHTFA Touch Football season starts May 1 and runs until mid to late October. There are 3 Divisions of 8 teams A-B-C and teams are ranked at the end of each season based on final playoff standings for thier division. (Ranked 1 thru 24) Top 8 ranked teams play in "A", middle 8 teams play in "B" and the bottom rank teams play in "C". "A" Division teams usually are the most competitive, with "B" Division being in the middle and "C" Division being more recreational. At the end of league games, playoffs start with each division having an upper and lower round robin bracket to determine their champion and runner up.
Teams are established generally through friendship or mergers. New players interested in playing in the league submit thier contact info and past experience to the GHTFA and then it gets posted on our website for teams to contact. Teams or players interested in entering a team in the GHTFA are invited to submit their request in early February each year and then required to present thier team at the annual AGM. (contact info on website) They need to provide a solid plan that provides sufficient players, financial support and a commitment to participate in the ongoing operating functions to maintain the GHTFA. (outline provide on website) From that the GHTFA members accept or decline thier request.
Games are scheduled every Sunday morning at various parks throughout Burlington starting at 9:00am and the 2nd games at 10:30am. There are no games scheduled on long weekends. Additional games are played on Tuesdays or Thursday nights at 7:00pm. Teams submit special requests at the AGM for dates their team can not play. Teams are responsible to ensure they have a minimum of 5 qualified referees by the start of the 3rd year to support the GHTFA Referee requirements. See more on this in the referee section.
